The Storm Within

by Christa Ann

  “It will work out. We will work out.” Trevor’s hands moved to her waist. “I want you too. Don’t think about anything except us.”

  Skye just wasn’t sure. Her mind and heart were arguing with one another. Her heart wanted to take the risk, but her mind reminded her that he would eventually hurt her when he lost control.

  Leaning her head against his chest, she closed her eyes while she moved her hands down to his chest.

  Trevor knew she had an internal war going on inside. He knew deep down he would never hurt her. He didn’t know how he knew; he just did.

  Lifting her face to look into her eyes, he asked, “Do you think I would hurt you?” When she didn’t answer, he continued. “Let’s see where this relationship goes.”

  “Okay. I don’t want either of us getting hurt. Can you just hold me and wake me when you get up?” Skye asked.

  “Yeah.” Going to the side of the bed, he pulled the covers down, and they both got into bed. Trevor held her as tight as he dared without hurting her. “Come here, baby. Sleep.”

  For the first-time in a long time, Trevor woke up refreshed and clean minded. That’s when he realized he hadn’t had a single nightmare. Skye had her arm draped over his chest and her leg over his. She had her body wrapped around his.

  Rolling to his side, he pulled her more firmly to him. She surprised him; she kissed the side of his neck. When she got to his jaw, a moan slipped out. “You’re awake.” He let his hand glide down her back, reaching under the t-shirt, feeling her soft skin.

  Trevor turned his head and took her lips in a passionate kiss, losing himself in her taste. Their tongues danced together just as their bodies danced. Reaching down, he rolled her onto her back.

  Rising to his knees, he pulled on the t- shirt, lifting it over her head and dropping it on the floor. He ran his hand from her calf to her thigh. “Your skin is so smooth.” Reaching her apex, he moved to her hips, deliberately not touching her mound. Moving over her ribs, he reached under her breasts, cupping them. Massaging her breasts, she arched into his touch. He leaned in to lick the tip of each nipple and blew air across them, and they hardened more.

  She tried to move her hand to her breast, and Trevor took her hands in his, kissing the palm and wrist. “No, don’t touch yourself. I want to explore, kiss, and lick your skin first.”

  “Touch me then.” She moved her hands to the headboard and arched her breast to him.

  He couldn’t refuse; he licked and nipped at her breast before taking it inside his mouth and sucking hard. His other hand massaged and pinched at her other breast and nipple. Then he moved his mouth to the other breast, paying it just as much attention as the other.

  Moving up to gaze into her eyes, he saw her lips slightly open, and she was breathing heavily through her mouth. As he watched for every reaction, not wanting to miss anything, he grazed his fingers along the side of the breast to her collarbone then back down. Skye caressed the side up his arms to his neck.

  Moving down her body, he lay open-mouth kisses while his fingers entered her wet pussy. He placed a kiss at the top of her mound. With her fingers in his hair, he moved even lower and licked her slit, wanting to taste her honey.

  His erection throbbed worse than a toothache; he wanted to drive inside her. Instead, he caught her clit between his teeth, licking and sucking. Her moans and cries of pleasure only egged him on.

  Her fingers tightened in his hair, pushing him lower. “Oh, yes. Trevor.” She moved her hips in sync with the thrusting of his fingers. He could feel her inner muscles starting to close as her legs quivered, and her breathing came faster.

  He thrust two fingers in harder and heard Skye cry out as she climaxed hard against his hand. Releasing her clit, he lowered to taste her more.

  Rising up, Trevor leaned back against his feet and wrapped his hand around his throbbing erection. He needed to come, but more than that, he needed to be inside Skye.

  Trevor watched Skye reach for and cup his balls before rolling them. “That feels good,” he said, encouraging her. But, he wanted more. He pulled at her wrist. “Stop. I won’t last, and I want to be inside you.”

  “I want to ride you. Lay down,” she whispered in his ear and kissed the side of his neck.

  He propped some pillow behind his back so he was reclined against them. Skye crawled to him on all fours, giving open mouth kisses along the way. Fuck. He stroked his cock and watched her come to him.

  With her hands on his shoulders, she straddled him as he lined up his cock to her entrance. “That’s it, Skye. Lower yourself when you’re ready.” Trevor moved the head of his cock through her slit. When her juices ran down his cock and over his hand to his balls, he almost arched up inside her.

  He groaned as she slowly worked her way down his cock and wrapped around him. Her heat almost burned his cock and had him nearly coming before he was fully seated. His head fell back as the pleasure overwhelmed him. “Take all of me. Relax your muscles; you can take me.” He rubbed her right above her mound, helping her to relax.

  “I’m trying. I have to come again. Full. So, full.” Skye rocked up and down, taking more of him has he continued to rub her. He loved the feel of her smooth skin.

  When she had all of him inside, Trevor had his hands on her hips, holding her tight. Grinding her back and forth. “Lean forward.” She started and stopped, obviously understanding why. But Trevor’s reacted fast and latched onto her breast and sucked.

  Skye moved up and down as Trevor thrust. He held his breath as his groin jerked in need. Trevor reached a hand up, pulling her mouth down to his in a demanding kiss. Each held onto the other’s sweaty body. His climax boiled in his balls, tingling at the base of his spine at the same time Skye clamped around his cock like a vise.

  Her legs against his hips tightened as they both came. Trevor gripped her hips, pulling her down more firmly on his cock, wanting to get deeper. He came so hard that Trevor thought for sure he would pass out.

  He felt Skye go limp in his arms. “Hey.” He didn’t want to move; the room smelled of her and sex.

  “Hmmm. Do I have to move?” She had her head on his shoulder and a hand against his still racing heart.

  With both arms around her, Trevor kissed the top of her head. “Nope, we can stay just like this. I’ll wake you up later.” At the last part, he thrust up to show her just how he would be waking her up.

  They both smiled, and she groaned as he slid out of her wet heat. Lying down on the bed with Skye sprawled over him, he fell into a peaceful sleep.

  Later that morning, while Skye slept, Trevor left the room in search of one of his buddies and food. After letting them know he would be spending the afternoon with Skye, he said they would meet up with them later that night for the fireworks.

  “I thought you would still be asleep. I got us something to drink and eat. Hungry?” Trevor sat next to Skye who wasn’t awake all the way.

  Her eyes still drooped sleepily. “Bathroom. Hungry, yes. What time is it?”

  “It’s almost nine in the morning. I hoped we could spend the day together. I need to get some souvenirs for my family. Then we can meet up with everyone on the beach to watch the fireworks.” Trevor hoped she would want to spend the day with him.

  “Okay. I want to pick up something for my family too. Do you think we can eat at the Pub again?” She sat cross-legged on the bed and ate with Trevor.

  “I’ll call now and get us in this afternoon.” Trevor reached for his phone and got a table for two at three o’clock. “Okay, all set. We can finish up, take a shower, and head out.”

  They finished eating, but the shower took longer than normal only because Trevor showered with Skye. So, after washing her once and making her come again, he had to wash up again. Skye let her friends know she would be shopping with Trevor and would be back in time to see the fireworks.

  They had a great time together shopping, and Trevor asked for advice for his sisters. At Flynn’s, he had to get this worked out. “So,
I have to head back to the base; it’s a long drive. I promised my parents before I left that I would stop by for a day and see them. I’m not going to re-enlist. I want to be with you. How do you feel? Honestly?”

  She sat back. “I would stay with you. But, I don’t want you to not re-enlist because of me.” She curled her fingers together.

  “Skye, I wanted out. I just didn’t have a good reason or anything to look forward to. I want an us.” Trevor needed to get through to her.

  “Okay,” was all she said.

  Trevor needed her to say the words. “Okay as in let’s see where this goes or okay as in maybe?”

  She sighed. “I know we haven’t been dating for months. But, it’s like I’ve known you for years. So, yes let’s be a couple.”

  After dinner, they headed back to the beach houses to grab a blanket, find their friends, and watch the fireworks go off. They all laughed and joked around and had the time of their lives.

  She sat between his legs with her back against his chest. Every so often, Trevor kissed her hair, neck, or shoulder and would inhale her scent to carry it with him. “I need your phone,” Trevor told Skye.

  Handing him her phone, she asked, “Why?”

  He got her to unlock it. “I need to put my number inside, and I need your number in mine.” Opening his camera app, Trevor took a picture of them.

  Just then the fireworks started, and they all watched with excitement. When they ended, “Stay with me tonight,” Trevor requested.

  Going back to his room, they both undressed and got into bed. They held onto each other. Trevor loved being skin to skin. “What time to you leave?”

  “I have to leave before dinner. I’ll need an hour to pack and get the room together so no one else has to do it.” Trevor knew she wouldn’t like the answer.

  “You have to sleep too,” Skye replied.

  Trevor stoked her arm. “We have more time together. Let’s not talk about that.

  9

  Three months later

  Skye turned her head again, hearing the door to McKenzie’s opening. She hoped it would be Trevor; no luck. Two months, it’d been two months since she’d talked to him. She just wanted to hear his voice or, better yet, see him.

  They’d talked on the phone every night when they first got home and sometimes twice a day. Trevor informed his Commander he wouldn’t be staying in the Navy. Ten days later, Trevor was asked to assist on the planning of a mission, the one that had been canceled. She still remembered the phone call.

  When he’d told Skye about it, she couldn’t believe that with only four days in the service left they would want him for some mission. “Why? You only have four days left. How long will you be gone or are you staying in? Will I be able to talk to you while you’re gone?”

  “Skye, baby, calm down for me. Listen. I started this mission so they want my input in order for the team to finish it. I’m hoping it will only be for two weeks, one month tops. It depends on what happens in the field. And no baby, you won’t be able to talk me. I wish.” She heard the strain in his voice.

  She knew she was acting like a child getting a new toy taken away. “This is not fair. You did your time and put in your papers. Now they want you for one more. Did they forget that you were seriously hurt on the last one?” Taking a deep breath, she continued. “Can’t you tell them ‘No; find someone else’? Four days. You are out in four days, and we get to be together.”

  “Saying ‘No’ unfortunately is not an opinion.” He chuckled. “Let’s talk about something else. How did your boss take your leaving?”

  “As you can imagine, not well. He said he could give me a new office. I finished the program with my therapist, so now I’ll be seeing her every three months,” she told Trevor. “I’ll miss you. Please, come home.”

  He sighed. “If something does go wrong, and I have to stay longer, my dad is the contact, and he knows to call you. I’ll be safe and come home to you.” He paused as someone said something in the background. “I have to go. Please know I’ll see you soon.”

  “I’ll see you soon. Be careful and safe,” Skye replied.

  Feeling a touch on her shoulder, she looked up to see her dad. “He’s fine. It’s just a little delay.”

  “How did yo…?” she started to ask.

  “Because, my sweet baby girl, you’ve done nothing but stare at the door or your phone. How many times have you called his family? You received a text from him saying he’d gotten back from the field, but had to go through discharge paperwork and see his therapist one more time,” her dad reminded her.

  She faced him fully. “I know. But, I haven’t heard anything. I texted his old sister, Susan, this morning.” Smiling at him, she said, “I’m just getting to know them. That’s all.”

  He laughed. “You keep telling yourself that. Plus, they…”

  “They enjoy talking to you.” Skye swung around, and there, standing a couple of feet away, was Trevor. She couldn’t get her feet to move; she was in shock that he was in front of her. She was frozen in place.

  “Go on, girl.” Her father gave her a little push.

  With tears shining in her eyes, she rushed the couple of steps and just about knocked him back. A man who looked a lot like Trevor stopped him from moving. “You should’ve called. I could’ve had a welcome back dinner or something,” Skye told him while she hugged him and buried her face against his neck, breathing in his scent. “I’m glad you’re here.”

  “Me too. I wanted to surprise you.” Lifting her face, he kissed her deeply. Then she heard everyone in the place clapping and cheering.

  A clearing of the throat made both of the turn. “Son, we have only had a chance to talk to her on the phone. So, it would be nice to officially meet her.”

  Embarrassment heated Skye’s insides. “You brought your parents?”

  A woman came forward, moving Trevor out of her way. “Oh dear, you look lovely. Doesn’t she look lovely, Carl?”

  “Why don’t we take this to the other room,” Skye’s father, Neil, suggested.

  Everyone followed, and Skye couldn’t stop looking at Trevor. She wanted to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Trevor must’ve read her mind. “I’m here, baby.” Then he moved his arm around her.

  “Amber is on her way. I have Ty covering for me. You must be Trevor.” Fintan held out his hand. “It’s great to finally meet you. Been wondering if she imagined you.”

  “No, I’m real. These are my parents, Carl and Paula. My sisters will be here this weekend.” Trevor looked at Skye.

  After receiving hugs from his parents, she introduced her family. “My parents, Neil and Shea. My older, but not wiser brother, Fintan.”

  “I’m here. I’m here.” Amber rushed in, breathing as if running for her life.

  “And this is my brother’s fiancée, Amber,” Skye finished.

  “Hi. Hello. Did I miss anything else? No? Good. Trevor, great to finally met you. Skye hasn’t stopped talking about you for three months.” Amber just had to drag out the finally.

  She gave her a friendly shove. “Stop telling on me. We are supposed to gang up on them, not the guys and you against me. You’re almost worst than him.” Skye pointed to her brother, who faked hurt.

  “If everyone will tell me what you want to drink, I’ll order them,” Fintan, always the bartender, offered.

  Sitting at a table, everyone talked and joked around. After eating some appetizers and finishing their drinks, they walked two doors down to have dinner. At the restaurant, the talked about family and work. They called it a night after having dessert.

  Trevor leaned in. “Stay with me at the hotel.”

  “I don’t have a change of clothes and need to get my car,” Skye replied.

  “We can get your car and drive it to the hotel, and I got you a Navy t-shirt before I left.” Trevor explained.

  Skye’s father spoke up. “I’ll drive your car back home and will bring it back tomorrow.”

  After saying good night
to her parents, and getting a promise to have a family breakfast together, they headed to the hotel two blocks down the road with Trevor’s parents. Skye really hoped they would be alone for the rest of the night, but didn’t say anything.

  Entering the elevator, his parents hit number two, and Trevor hit number four. His father turned to face them when the elevator opened. “I’ll see you two in the lobby first thing tomorrow. Skye, I’m glad to have met you.”

  “Night Dad, Mom. See you both in the morning,” Trevor said at the same time Skye replied, “It’s a pleasure. Good night.”

  When the elevator opened again on the fourth floor, he rushed down the hall to his room. Entering the room, Trevor pushed her against the wall, crushing his mouth to hers. She loved the feel of his hands on her.

  Skye slid out of her shoes, and Trevor pulled away, guiding her to the king-sized bed. The both rushed to get each other out of their clothes. She wanted to feel him skin to skin. His shirt dropped to the floor, and Skye’s eyes roamed over his muscled chest. “Trevor.”

  “I need to be inside you.” Trevor kept undressing and, naked, sat on the bed, pulling her between his legs. Reaching up, he unsnapped the front clasp of her bra and moved the cups. He ran his hands over her breasts, feeling her nipples harden under his palms.

  Trevor moved his hands to her waist. Leaning in, he placed open-mouth kisses on her abdomen. His hand moved down to her hips, pushing her pants down at the same time. “Spread your legs, Skye.”

  Skye’s legs shook. “Trevor, I won’t last.”

  “I know.” He had one hand on her ass cheek, while the other moved up her inner thigh. Between her legs, a throbbing need sprang to life as he slid a single finger inside. “God, you’re so wet. Don’t move, baby. Let me just feel you.” His touch flamed her body from breast to thigh, and she craved more. Always more from him.

  When he added a second finger and his thumb to her clit, Skye moved her hands to his shoulder to stay upright. She needed more, so she moved up and down on his hand while he moved in and out. She froze when a finger on his other hand moved to her anus. As he moved everything at one time, Skye felt her inner walls tightening and her ass squeezing his finger, which was now fully inside her. “Trevor, I am so close. God, that feels good.” Her breathing came out faster, and her legs began to shake.
